Man arrested on suspicion of hit and run after Oxnard crash

A 31-year-old man was arrested Sunday after a hit-and-run crash in Oxnard that critically injured a passenger, officials said.

Police responded about 6:30 p.m. to a crash at Channel Islands Boulevard and Albany Drive. A preliminary investigation indicated a SUV driven by Dayton Robbs was heading west on Channel Islands when it made a left turn into the path of a van heading east, officials said.

The van broadsided the right side of the SUV, causing extensive damage to both vehicles, officials said.

A passenger in the SUV suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Ventura County Medical Center. The 23-year-old woman was in stable condition at the hospital.

Robbs ran from the scene but was arrested in the 2800 block of Anchorage Street on suspicion of felony hit and run, officials said.

The driver of the van suffered minor injuries, and her passenger was not injured, police said.

Anyone with information about the crash can call Senior Officer Maria Pena at 385-7750.
